Healthcare App Development FAQs
Common questions about HIPAA-compliant healthcare app development
What is HIPAA compliance?
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance means implementing administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect patient health information (PHI). This includes encryption, access controls, audit trails, and security policies.
How much does a HIPAA-compliant app cost?
HIPAA-compliant healthcare apps typically cost $75,000-$350,000+ depending on complexity. Additional HIPAA compliance costs ($20,000-$50,000) cover security audits, penetration testing, and compliance documentation.
Do you sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)?
Yes, we sign BAAs with all healthcare clients. A BAA is required by HIPAA when a third party (like us) handles protected health information on behalf of a covered entity.
How long does healthcare app development take?
Healthcare app development typically takes 4-12 months depending on complexity. MVPs take 4-6 months, full apps 6-9 months, and enterprise solutions 9-12+ months.
Can you integrate with our EHR system?
Yes, we integrate with major EHR systems including Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, eClinicalWorks, and athenahealth using HL7 FHIR standards.
What about telemedicine features?
We build full telemedicine platforms with HD video consultations, screen sharing, virtual waiting rooms, e-prescriptions, and EHR integration using Twilio Video, Zoom Healthcare API, or Agora.io.
How do you handle Protected Health Information (PHI)?
We implement end-to-end encryption (AES-256), secure authentication, role-based access controls, audit logging, and encrypted database storage. All PHI is handled according to HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules.
What security measures do you implement?
We implement AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3, multi-factor authentication, biometric login, secure key management (AWS KMS), database encryption, session management, and IP allowlisting.
Do you do penetration testing?
Yes, penetration testing is included in our healthcare app development process. We conduct thorough security assessments and provide remediation for any vulnerabilities found.
Can mental health apps be HIPAA compliant?
Absolutely. Our CGSA mental health clinic app demonstrates our expertise in building HIPAA-compliant mental health applications with secure messaging and encrypted session notes.
What about e-prescriptions?
We integrate with e-prescription networks (Surescripts) and comply with DEA requirements for controlled substance prescribing (EPCS) where applicable.
How do you handle patient consent?
We implement digital consent management with clear opt-in flows, consent tracking, and the ability for patients to manage their data sharing preferences.
What if there is a data breach?
We have breach notification procedures in place as required by HIPAA. This includes incident response plans, notification timelines, and documentation requirements.
Do you support FDA clearance?
For apps that qualify as medical devices, we can help navigate FDA 510(k) clearance with regulatory consultation, documentation preparation, and design controls.
What is a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
A BAA is a legal contract required by HIPAA between a covered entity and a business associate that handles PHI. It outlines responsibilities for protecting patient data.
